Ka'aba was re-built by Hazrat Abraham (AS) and Hazrat Ismaiel (AS). Hazrat Abraham (AS) was commanded by Almighty Allah to announce to the people of the world to come to Ka'aba to perform pilgrimage. Thus Ka'aba was used as a place of worship and Hajj even before the the Last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (May peace be upon him) started preaching Islam.
